ho has been the Executive Director of the Franklinton Board of Trade since January of 2010. The Franklinton Board of Trade serves as the Chamber of Commerce for the Franklinton Community, but unlike a traditional Chamber it is a 501c3 non-profit. This status gives Franklinton the latitude to do important community work based on the three pillars of focus: Advocate - Beautify - Connect. Trent Smith works to create strong relationships in the Business Community , Non-Profit Community and the Residents of the Franklinton.
